View post →There are all kinds of people who go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This is a very informal couple sitting in a very formal setting. This drawing was drawn at the end of the hall to the left of the museum entrance when it used to be a restaurant. I liked it then. You […]

View post →Another point of view from another viewer of Perseus at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Â It really was funny to me how some people, like this guy, would hang out looking at Perseus very attentively. I always wondered what it was exactly that they were drawn to about the sculpture. who knows? Sword, anatomy, sculpture? […]
View post →The statue of Perseus at The Metropolitan Museum of Art is no longer on view, but I made a pretty lengthy series of drawings of people as they passed him by. I always found it very amusing to watch people in the context of Perseus; how they reacted, or didn’t react, to him […]
View post →A hand of Rodin, at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. I would give anything to have watched Rodin draw and sculpt. Every drawing, every sculpture feels alive and ready to walk away, or sit, or make love, or roll up into a ball, or crawl. It doesn’t matter. It’s alive, and I feel the energy. […]
View post →On our, Dalvero Academy’s, latest trip to Mystic Seaport I made a drawing of the ends of the three masts that will be placed on the Charles W Morgan within the next month or two. One of the masts already was put in place. Looking forward to the other two!I drew this with a piece […]
View post →I was at the Met a few days ago and so I thought I would draw a hand and foot from Rodin’s statues. I love his drawing and his sculpture. They feel real to me. Margaret Hurst
View post →Another early piece from the work done for the Dalvero Academy show at Mystic Seaport, Restoring a Past, Charting a Future, that came down last week. This was one of the first prints I did in the process of working on the piece that eventually went on display. I played around with block, screen, and […]
View post →I made this drawing about a year ago down at the World Trade Center. Families performed a brief ceremony at the World Trade Center by tying yellow ribbons on the Callery Pear tree that had survived the devastation of the 9/11 tragedy twelve years ago. It was a memorable and moving ceremony. It was wonderful […]
View post →Another quick thought for when I get back to my project. Picked up some great information at the National Museum of the American Indian at the Smithsonian in D.C. and I literally, just 45 seconds ago, learned that it is a sister museum to the one in New York. The things you over look. We […]
View post →Here is another drawing of a Pratt & Whitney engine at the National Air & Space Museum in Washington DC. I love drawing engines. Especially since no one has to build an engine from any of my drawings. 😉 Posted by Veronica Lawlor

View post →The Chartres Cathedral is probably the finest example of French Gothic architecture and said by some to be the most beautiful cathedral in France. Upon a trip to Paris a few years back I had the privilege to visit this sacred destination. I still think about it all the time. It’s unique spacial sensibility was such a […]
